"Adopt symmetries and rhythms instead of principles. Oppose world systems and acts of state by transforming them into a phrase or a brush stroke... What we are celebrating is both buffoonery and a requiem mass."
- Hugo Ball, 12/3/1916

"The 'simultaneous poem' has to do with the value of the voice... The noises represent the background - the inarticulate, the disastrous, the decisive. The poem tries to elucidate the fact that man is swallowed up in the mechanistic process. In a typically compressed way it shows the conflict of the vox humana with a world that threatens, ensnares, and destroys it, a world whose rhythm and noise are ineluctable."
- Hugo Ball, 30/3/1916
